"AS IF I NEVER EXISTED". Rudy has a sad about Fox excluding him on 9-11.

https://www.rawstory.com/americas-mayor-rudy-giuliani/

On Steve Bannon's "War Room" on Wednesday, during a segment in which Bannon was criticizing Fox News for giving so much coverage to former Vice President Mike Pence instead of former President Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani complained bitterly about how Fox News doesn't invite him on as a guest anymore — and in particular how they didn't invite him on for the most recent anniversary of the September 11 attacks.


"Would Roger Ailes have tolerated — the other day, Donald Trump returns to Washington, D.C. for the first time since he left, to give a keynote address on law and order and anarchy in our major cities. Mike Pence gives a seventeen minute bromides for a high school kid, cut and paste, absolutely ridiculous, they cover seventeen minutes and they blow a commercial break, which is like a mortal sin over at Fox, right? They blow a commercial break to cover all of it. Why do they have a thumb on the scale for a loser and a coward like Mike Pence, and they're up against, trying to defeat again, Donald J. Trump?"

"Well, I mean, they were doing it back then back before they realized Trump was going to win and they wanted to go with the winner," said Giuliani. "That whole thing with Roger was a setup because, they thought they were going to have to move to the left, so that's where they are now. I mean, how could they not have me on on September 11th? They went through September 11 as if I never existed. I mean, it's amazing. They're part of the make-up-history-the way-they-want-it-to-be-network.

I mean, other than coincidentally being Mayor, what did he do? I can't believe his "Wins Above Replacement" was all that high.

That confused media people and they made him look heroic for just doing what a leader is expected to do during a huge crisis. Keep people calm, etc.


Then it wore off and he was back to being his usual Il Duciani self, suggesting he just stay on as mayor because the attack disrupted a mayoral primary that day... one that he was not a candidate for because he'd run out his term limits.

Has anyone ever determined why that speech he made in Philly was at Four Seasons Landscaping's garage rather than the Four Seasons hotel?
